91 thunder bird v8 HO

So I went to the junkyard yesterday and started to pull the heads off of a tbird. I noticed that it had a fairly strange looking intake. It has diffrent connections for the EGR and the throttle body. I was wondering if this is the same intake that is on the newer (94 to 95) mustangs. here is a link that has the same kinda of connection. Mine are part of the intake manifold.

 I plan on getting the throttle body and finishing off the heads later today. Will I ber able to use these? the throttle body is a diffrent botl pattern then the stock one. The egr sensor only has one hole and there are diffrent vaspooge lines.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

okay here is my exact intake, Minus the lower.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7970690159&category=36474 it is listed a s a 94 to 95 mustang intake. Is that true? because I know that the motor I am pulling parts from is swapped. I would aprreciate if anyone would let me know .

The '91-'93 Birds had the same intake as the '94-'95 Stang... It is a little shorter so it will fit under the lower hoods, and doesn't flow as well as the '93 earlier Stang HO...

well better then no intake. I havent found a good H.O. intake manifold. There havent been any mustangs in my local junk yard. And the marks, 9 out of 10 times they are missing their engine when I get around to them. This so far is the best H.O. engine that I have found so far.
